College of Nursing Q&A 2026 Update!!!
Ventricular Tachycardia What is this rhythm
and how is it
CPR, Defibrilate, amiodarone, epi treated?
Ventricular fibrillation What is this rhythm
and how is it
CPR, Amiodarone, Defibrilate, Epi treated?
Asystole What is this rhythm?
and how is it
CPR & Epinephrine treated?
PVC or premature ventricular contraction
Treat the underlying cause:
What is this rhythm?
1. hypoxemia (o2)
and how is it
2. Ischemia (12 lead to confirm) treated?
3. electrolyte imbalance (Mg+ or K+
replacement)
AFib
What is this rhythm
"control the rate and anticoagulate"
and how is it treated
Synchronized Cardioversion and if unstable?
anticoagulation
, Give an antidysrhythmic (amiodarone)
Cardizem/Diltiazem
We don't defib because we are worried a How is stable Afib treated?
clot has formed in the appendages which
will travel to the brain or lungs when
shocked
AFib RVR
What is this rhythm?
This is Afib plus tachycardia and it is
and how is it
treated as unstable Afib
treated?
Cardiovert
What percent of cardiac output is lost due
30%
to Afib and loss of "atrial kick"?
this is a calcium channel blocker it
decreases BP & decreases HR it is often
What does Cardizem/Diltiazem do?
given to help reduce the HR in Afib RVR
along with Heparin/Warfarin
1. Protamine
What is the antidote for heparin?
2. Vitamin K
What is the antidote for Warfarin?
3. if there is an active bleed or they are
When do we reverse anticoagulation?
going to need surgery
1. recognition of sudden cardiac arrest ck
for pt responsiveness and breathing
2. Activate the emergency response system
(call a code or rapid)
what are the steps to BLS CPR?
3. CPR if no pulse, and while waiting on the
crash cart to arrive. (Remember 30
compressions to 2 breaths)
4. Defibrillate- as soon as possible
How many leads must Asystole be
2 leads ds
confirmed in?
Vasoconstrictor and (+) Inotrope what is Epinephrine?
pacer spikes with no P or QRS What is failure to capture on a pacemaker?
Usually a problem with battery or lead in
the wrong place. the PM fires but doesn't
cause a contraction
